GM Agrees to Wage Demands of Union
GM reaches a new labor pact with the UAW CIO after weeks of talks. The deal includes guaranteed pay raises of 6 to 8 cents for three years, extra raises for skilled workers, enhanced pensions over 250 dollars monthly, and reduced wage inequities for about 90 000 workers. It also adds an extra half week of vacation, one more paid holiday, improved health insurance, and shifts to a 60 day union membership requirement. The dispute over skilled workers’ wages was the main barrier.
